Nearly 80 people got sick in a norovirus outbreak on an Oceania Cruises ship.
Among the 637 guests aboard its Oceania Insignia ship, 74 reported being ill, along with one crew member, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. Their main symptoms were vomiting and diarrhea.
The ship departed from Montreal on Oct. 16 for a cruise with stops in Canada and Maine, according to CruiseMapper. The voyage is scheduled to end in Boston on Oct. 27.
The cruise line implemented heightened cleaning and disinfection onboard and isolated sick passengers and crew, according to the CDC. Oceania did not immediately respond to USA TODAY’s request for comment.
